Bird Flu Hits Rhode Island Poultry Farm

Bird flu hits Rhode Island as H5N1 is confirmed in ducks and chickens at Antonelli Poultry—leading to the euthanasia of 445 birds to stop spread. The farm is shut down for five days while officials monitor staff and advise customers who bought poultry between June 9–12 to double-bag and discard it. Though human risk remains low, anyone with flu-like symptoms should see a doctor. This is the state’s first confirmed avian flu case in domestic birds this year.
